By: Elizabeth Bailey

Narrated by: Esther Wane

The intrepid Lady Fan has a new mystery to solve! For fans of Georgette Heyer, Mary Balogh, Barbara Erskine, and Jane Austen.

Corpses follow Lady Fan wherever she goes....

1799, England

A family holiday to the seaside takes a dramatic turn when Lady Ottilia Fanshawe's young son Luke accidentally stumbles on a body in a cave.

Lady Fan and her husband Francis quickly rush to the scene and find the corpse bound and blindfolded with a bullet hole in his head. It appears the man was executed, and with smugglers well-known to operate in the area, the local sergeant suggests it was a quarrel amongst the reprobates.

But Ottilia is not so sure. The crime scene seemed staged, and the dead man too well dressed to be a common criminal. There is nothing else for it. The Fanshawes must extend their stay on the Norfolk coast to allow Lady Fan to take the lead.

But with her health compromised, four young children to care for, and a grumbling mother-in-law in tow, can Lady Fan summon up enough strength to unravel this mystery? Or will this be the case that finally forces her into retirement?
